SUMMARY:General Meeting – October 2025
DESCRIPTION: Join Zoom\n\nThis meeting’s speaker will present inperson from the Chapman campus.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Search for Earth 2.0:\n  \nWhy We Think It Exists\, and\n  \nHow We’re Going To Find It\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor thousands of years\, we’ve wondered if the Earth is unique\, or if there are other Earths out there to find. In just the last 30 years\, we’ve progressed from merely wondering if planets exist around other stars to knowing that almost every star we see has planets. Ambitious planet searches have been probing further and further\, finding planetary systems of an incredible – and incredibly surprising! – variety. However\, we have yet to discover another planet that might be like Earth – a rocky planet orbiting just the right distance from a Sun-like star to have liquid water on its surface. NASA has a audacious new plan for a next-generation flagship telescope that will directly image Earth-like planets around nearby stars\, but it will take all of our ingenuity and technical prowess to achieve this incredible feat. Dr Christiansen will walk you through the past\, present\, and future of our hunt for Earth 2.0. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jessie Christiansen is the Chief Scientist of the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute and a TED fellow. She has worked on NASA’s Kepler\, K2\, and TESS missions\, searching the sky for exoplanets\, and is helping plan for NASA’s next big flagship missions – the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, and the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Dr. Christiansen’s research is in the detection and characterization of exoplanets – planets around other stars – and studies of exoplanet populations\, and she is currently the most successful woman planet hunter in the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nViews: 187
